PERSONALITY, DEVELOPMENT AND ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR

Abstract

The growing interest of Psychology in emotional abilities obliges us to base Personality on the perception and expression of emotions. Mira’s work is described as the appropriate starting point for developing a psychology of Personality that not only takes inter-individual differences into account, but also conceives them as founded on intra-individual differences. Mira describes the relationship between the somatic and psychic components that constitute the person, in accordance with human development, by means of three concepts: monism, functionalism and interactionism. Finally, this theory is compared with some other current theories in Psychology, and it is concluded that Mira’s theory of Personality is made up of three components: Temperament, Perceived Situation and Character, which provides us with a concept of Personality applicable to the development of a human being not from an essential perspective but from a functional one.
